I sat all alone that night in my room, I wish I liked Xmas enough for Julian, but I couldn't. I walked out of my house the next day, put my earbuds in, and put music on trying to see Julian. I noticed someone following me and began to walk to Julian's faster. As I got to his door, I knocked on it rapidly and the door opened. Julian's mom appeared with a warm smile, huged me and said
"Hi Evelyn"
"Hi Mrs.Tomas"
Even though it was Julian's mom, she looked like she was in her mid 20's."Julian's up in his room"
"Thanks Mrs.Tomas" I said as we went upstairs. She knocked on his door and opened it.
"Julian, you have a guest here for you..."
"Umm who is it mom?"
"It's your friend, Evelyn. Now come out and say hi"
"yes ma'am"
Julian came to the door, smiled awkwardly, said hi to me, invited me in and shut the door."What do you want, Evelyn?" Julian said as he sat on his bed.
"I just wanna talk"
"About what?"
"I'm sorry" I said as I put my head down. Julian lifted my chin up and kissed me.
"I'm sorry too, I was an ass for pushing you to celebrate with me"
"So, can you forgive me?"
Julian laughs and says "I already forgave you"
"Can we take a walk outside?"
"Sure, just let me grab a jacket"
"Ok, babe"A few minutes later he was back and we started walk downstairs. Suddenly, I tripped down the stairs and my face made a close encounter with a man's chest. Julian yelped as he saw me fall all the way down. I looked up and saw a tall,muscular man with a beard and quickly picked myself up.
He smiled at me and helped me up.
"Well Evelyn, this is my dad" Julian said to me.
Julian's dad walked past me and into the kitchen as me and Julian went out the front door."So----you still wanna stay at home on Xmas?"
"Not really."
"Evelyn, wanna spend Xmas here?"
I look behind me and see guy following us, Julian looks at me and says.
"Umm---evelyn what are you looking at?"
"That guy was following me here"
Julian looks behind us and sees the same guy, and holds me closer.
"Don't pay attention to him."
The guy kept getting closer and closer till he was arms length to us, he tapped on my shoulder and I turned around to only see him and I was back in my room and Julian was nowhere to be seen.
He looked at me and smiled and tipped his hat to me, he was an older man in his mid 20's."ma'am we need to talk"
I stayed in the corner of my room and grabbed the scissors and pointed it at him.
"Stay away from me!"
"Ma'am calm down, I'm Pete, and---i'm a ghost."
